Attributes for <copy-attr>

attr-name

Specifies the attribute name.

Elements

<copy-name>

Specifies that the rdn of the src-dn attribute from the <add> element is copied and used as part of the dn. If the <copy-name> element is specified and the src-dn in the <add> element is empty, the placement rule is skipped.

<copy-attr>

Specifies that the first value of the attribute specified by attr-name is copied from the <add> element and used as part of the destination dn. If the attribute does not exist in the <add> element, the placement rule is skipped.

Structured attribute types are not supported.

<copy-path>

Specifies that the src-dn attribute from the <add> element is copied to be used as the destination dn. The DirXML engine used the src-dn-format and dest-dn-format attributes to convert the name to the proper format. Conversion from typeless format to a typed format is unsupported unless the source is eDirectory.

<copy-path-suffix>

Specifies that only a portion of the src-dn attribute from the <add> element is copied to be used as the destination dn. The portion of the src-dn attribute that matches the <match-path> element is stripped from the name. If no <match-path> element is specified, the whole src-dn is copied.

The DirXML engine used the src-dn-format and dest-dn-format attributes to convert the name to the proper format. Conversion from typeless format to a typed format is unsupported unless the source is eDirectory.
